“East Sydney Hotel strikes me as an excellent budget choice; its location near Darlinghurst and Surry Hills puts guests in the middle of Sydney's vibrant scene, with the city center also within easy reach. I especially note the consistently clean shared bathrooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Extras like in-room fridges and complimentary tea and coffee add considerable value, making it a practical and comfortable base for exploring the city.”
